A graduate who scored the maximum 800 points on the National Multidisciplinary Test chose Lviv Polytechnic University
This year, only two participants in the national multi-subject test scored the maximum 800 points. One of the top scorers was Yuriy Hashchuk, a graduate of the “Hrono” Lyceum in Lviv, who has already decided where he will attend college.
Yuriy Hashchuk said he has chosen to attend Lviv Polytechnic National University, where he will study chemistry.
The graduate earned the maximum 800 points on the NMT by successfully passing the exams in Ukrainian language, Ukrainian history, mathematics, and chemistry.
According to Andriy Zakalyuk, the graduate not only plans to study in Lviv but also wants to build his future in the city.
“Yurko really loves Lviv. He wants to live here, study here, and grow here. He spends hours walking around the city, reading books about it, and jotting down interesting facts about Lviv in his notebook. And this fall, he wants to become a tour guide. He says, ‘For the love of it,’” the official noted.
Another participant who scored the maximum 800 points on the National Multidisciplinary Test was Ivan Prudko from the Chernihiv region.
He had previously stated that he plans to apply to the Kyiv School of Economics (KSE).
In Lviv, 31 graduates who achieved the best results on the 2026 National Multidisciplinary Test will receive cash awards from the city.
Specifically, 27 graduates who scored 400 points will each receive 20,000 hryvnias, and three participants who scored 600 points will each receive 30,000 hryvnias.
The Lviv City Council’s executive committee has already approved this decision.
This was announced by Andriy Zakalyuk, director of the Department of Education and Culture of the Lviv City Council.
In 2026, applicants to Ukrainian universities most frequently applied for majors in “Management,” “Psychology,” and “Philology.” At the same time, the Ministry of Education and Science notes a growing interest in computer science, cybersecurity, and majors that are important for the country’s reconstruction.
On Saturday, August 1, at 6:00 p.m., the main phase of applications for admission to bachelor’s programs and medical master’s programs concluded. This year, applicants submitted 1,189,960 applications to higher education institutions, marking the highest figure in the past five years.
Applicants can now expect a second round of admissions as part of the 2026 admissions campaign.
Earlier, the Ukrainian Center for Educational Quality Assessment commented on the situation in the Odesa region, where participants in the National Multidisciplinary Test spent nearly 13 hours at the testing center due to prolonged air raid alerts. According to the agency, graduates were offered the option to reschedule the exam for an additional session, but they refused and decided to wait until the testing was completed and take the NMT on the same day.
An alternative bill to change the format of the National Multisubject Test (NMT) has been registered in the Verkhovna Rada. The bill proposes reducing the number of subjects to be tested from four to three. In this case, mathematics would be an elective subject.
